      Remote X on top of Wayland is much like doing X on top of Wnidows.   
      
      It's not the same thing at all.

       You are conflating something like Hummingbird with real baked   
   in remote access features that are considered and designed into the   
   project while it is being built.   
      
       That proves my point.

        Negligence will never equal intent, no matter how you   
   attempt to distort reality to do so. This is what separates         |||   
   the real butchers from average Joes (or Fritzes) caught up in      / | \   
   events not in their control.
